Are the drugs against influenza, that contains pseudoephedrine, legal in Georgia? Can I put them into my travel first-aid kit when traveling by plane?

This drugs have worked very well for me when I've caught influenza in mountains, but I know that pseudoephedrine has effects similar to amphetamine and therefore can be treated as narcotic in some countries...

Unfortunately, can't find any official information in English or Russian.
All I can say:

  1. According the customs rules you are not allowed to import any narcotics and medical drugs containing narcotics.
  2. Here (link is in Russian) is information about arrests for the holding Guaifenesin+Pseudoephedrine drugs, and it is definitely because of Pseudoephedrine. So this type of drugs definitely has some serious restrictions in Georgia.

Some forums are saying that you can import such drugs if you have a receipt from your doctor, but I can't guarantee that this is true information.

So, if I were you, I wouldn't take such drugs for the trip.
